Individual Support Every Step of the Way
The Student Counseling Department offers individual support to help meet the social, emotional, and academic needs of every Ursuline student.
One of four full-time student counselors is assigned to every new student, and that counselor stays with her throughout her Ursuline experience. In a safe and supportive environment, the counselors work individually with students to help develop healthy coping skills and resiliency.
Student Counseling at Ursuline also embraces holistic strategies, including an annual Wellness Week, which emphasize the importance of social and emotional learning as well as academics. Goals are reached by the development of:
- Stress management skills
- Smart social choices
- Self-advocacy skills
- Friendship and relationship dynamics
- Study and organizational strategies
Supporting Student Learning Styles
Each year, Ursuline welcomes a new student body with a variety of learning styles and challenges. A Learning Specialist is on staff to help meet student needs. In an effort to provide for each student, including those with learning differences, Ursuline offers limited accommodations to support emotional and academic success.
How to receive accommodations:
- The student must have current testing (within the past three years) from a licensed professional counselor or educational diagnostician.
- The evaluation must include both a cognitive and achievement test.
- Submit documentation to your daughter's Student Counselor for review.
The Student Counseling program also includes an annual Teen Wellness Week, which features speakers and content focused on how to have a positive body image, engage in healthy relationships, and understand how nutritious food is fuel.
